What we’re about
Oaktown Improv is a fun and safe place where we can play with expressing ourselves. Following our inner promptings and acting things out onstage is so much fun that it propels us into the moment.
"Everyone can act. Everyone can improvise. Anyone who wishes to can play in the theater and learn to become stageworthy. We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything." – Viola Spolin
The greatest joys in improv usually come through co-creation. When fellow players listen to each other, adjust to each other, build onto what the other is giving them, magic happens.
"... you are not the most important person in the scene. Everybody else is. And if they are the most important people in the scene, you will naturally pay attention to them and serve them. But the good news is you’re in the scene too. So hopefully to them you’re the most important person, and they will serve you. No one is leading, you’re all following the follower, serving the servant. You cannot win improv." – Stephen Colbert
Whether you're new to improv, or have been improvising for years, we invite you to join us!
